“I can’t think of being as connected to my God without music”. Says Cantorial Soloist, Bryant Frank.
“This podcast will touch your heart” says Bob Bruttell.
Listen in as Professor Saeed Khan hosts the InterFaith Leadership Council’s 16th Faith & Works podcast.
Our podcast series, “What is Sacred in our Lives Today?” continues with episode sixteen, “What is Sacred in our Music Today?” Join in with our experts as they identify their favorite sacred artists, discuss what is sacred about sacred music today, and answer questions about how music helps to define sacred space.
Sacred music is part of the sacred experiences that enrich your spiritual life. “We are all trying to make a connection between what is sacred and the sincerity behind it.” “Where are we now with sacred music and how are we attracting young people? What is it doing for our community?” asks Dr. Deborah Smith-Pollard.
What would make a piece of music sacred that [otherwise] may not be deemed sacred? John Thorne offers artist Gregory Porter’s song “Take Me to the Alley”, and states, “It’s about the people [of God]; just look at the lyrics.” Listen in as Rev. Robert Jones shares his musical talent with us as he plays parts of “Hallelujah” and how he has personally seen the influence of music on children.

Bob Bruttell, Vice-Chairman, hosts the InterFaith Leadership Council’s 15th Faith & Works podcast
Have we abandoned sacredness today? This podcast, “How Do You Define What is Sacred in our World Today?” explores how we know something is sacred. Many faith traditions hold things to be sacred, but as a society, how do we identify what things are deemed sacred today? “The present we are living in right now feels like a historical pattern wherein America is not able to identify what is sacred. Have we abandoned sacredness?” asks Bruttell.
Is there a way to infuse the sacred into the mundane? Janet Torreano Pound responds, “It isn’t about doing great things; it’s about doing small things with great love.” The simple actions in your day-to-day life can seem mundane, but they are little actions done with great love. Bringing positivity into those small things is God working through you. “God’s Grace is like the oxygen in the atmosphere; it is always there” adds Nasy Sankagiri. Positivity. Recognizing the presence of grace in our lives. These are sacred today.
Listen in as we discuss what is sacred. How do you define it, and how do you know it when you see it? Send your comments to [email protected]
